Our Zeus

29/1/2023

0 Comments

 
Well what a year our gorgeous imported silver blue roan stallion Silver Big Stretch has had.
His first foal crop & we are just delighted with their type, temperament, confirmation & lastly colour & bling! He has added height & bone we were hoping for too. It's a huge risk to buy a young colt sight unseen from the other side of the world. The change from the first photo I saw of him to the magnificent stallion he is now is quite remarkable. So very very proud of my Zeus & CAN'T wait to see what foals he has this year with some very exciting mares bred to him. Some very exciting ones due too

Do we have a roan here?

7/1/2023

Well its looking more and more like this boy is actually going to be a roan. His sire is Hollywood Groover (Smoky Grulla) & his dam is Ricinda Truly Devine (Classic Champagne Roan Dun) I am starting to see patches of white coming through. He has been colour tested as a classic champagne through a company we use in Australia. All our roan testing we get done in the US as its much more accurate. We only do that for possible homozygous roans and roan generally is pretty easy to see. It can be a bit trickier to see at birth on the lighter colours such as this boy however will reveal itself once they start shedding their foal coat.

New Directions

2/1/2023

After a great deal of consultation we have finally decided that 2023 will be a year of some big changes for us.

With the loss of one of our imported stallions as well as the recent gelding of our other young stallion due to fertility issues our focus has had lots of re-calibrating. Also, seeing our other stallion Silver Big Stretch go so well under saddle has made our priority change. Our stud will be continuing however during the next 6-12 months we plan to sell our beautiful home & find a smaller horse property.


This will mean we will sell half of our herd & only keep a handful of broodmares, our ridden horses & our special stallion Silver Big Stretch. We will be to still continue to breed 6 foals each year but will focus on showing our ridden horses.

In the coming days I will work through the tough decision on which horses we will keep & which will be sold. We will be in no hurry to part with them until we find the right homes for them. There will be some blue roans, Silver's & most likely Hollywood Groover.

These are top quality horses so they won't be cheap and all homes will need to be approved. Please contact us with your interest.

A Post we hate to write..

It has been quite a sad Christmas for us at Ricinda Ranch. We lost our very special Roxie in a paddock accident a few days ago. Our much loved sweetheart will be missed dearly by her horse family as well as her human family. We are all still so very shocked and cannot believe she is gone.

First day out in the big paddock with the herd for this young man. He was very curious and excited to finally have some friends. He sure is maturing into a stunning colt. Still need a paddock name for him so any suggestions let us know

Two Stunning Ricinda mares

20/11/2022

0 Comments

 
Two of our stunning blue roan young mares Ricinda Truly Blutiful & Ricinda Smokin Hot. These 2 girls are by the gorgeous stallion BS Leo Smoking Hayes (IS) who is still in the states. The mare on the left is by our imported blue roan mare Coliban Tru Blu (IMP) and the mare on the right from our blue roan mare who is a daughter of Peptos Styish Oak (IMP). Colour genetic wise they are both homozygous for roan (100% roan producers) & Truly Blutiful in also homozygous black & Smokin Hot carries 1 red gene.

A very important part of our breeding program over the last 10 years has been breeding to top outside stallions & retaining the best fillies. This strategy is now really starting to come to plan with these stunning mares like these girls. We have bred Smokin Hot to Hollywood Groover this year so fingers crossed on the safe arrival of another 2023 foal. It will certainly be one to watch out for and we will be taking EOIs

Lots of nerves & excitement to have Ricinda Valiantly blue at our first ranch versatility points day. All the best to everyone who attended.
I'm so delighted with Phantoms first show & he was an angel. We had such a great day at the Ranch Versaillty points day at the Beaudesert cutting & Western performance club.
A huge thanks to the organisers & judges. I'm pretty hooked now.

A blood Moon Divine groover!

9/11/2022

On the night of the blood moon we had a very special delivery
It was  one of those special mornings where I was completely in awe of the magic of life. I checked Devine at 3am & she was sleeping (obviously playing possum). Then at 4.30 I got a phone call from my partner who is away & he'd just checked the paddock camera remotely and called  to say I'd better get out to the paddock. When I got out there, a stunning classic champagne dun colt was already doing laps. Wow he already had the moves at an hour old! We think Devine will have her work cut out with this boy. We are so delighted!
